Well I am really needing a new bra. and i thought these type should work well for a while as i still have 200 lbs to lose. Which of these have any of you used? which one did you prefer and why. T y

I'm the opposite.  I'm a DD and I love my Genie bra.  I have only purchased those because they are a lot cheaper then the Ahh bra but I actually ordered a few of the Ahh bras last night on Ebay because they were a really good deal, I think around $6 each.  I bought both size Small and Medium because those were the sizes that were on sale.  With the Genie bra I find that both the Small and Medium sizes are kind of tight but that is fine with me because they do provide me with support.  I bought some from their website that are a thinner material and some at Bed, Bath and Beyond that had the inserts and I haven't noticed much of a difference in those, either.  In fact, since I bought my first Genie bra about a year ago I have almost always worn a Genie bra.  I like it also because even if it shows it looks like a tank top so I wear it with things that have thin straps and low cut things with no problem. I have looked at the Ahh bra and to tell you the truth they look virtually identical to the Genie bra but I will be able to tell you more after I get mine and wear it. I have heard that the secret to getting good support is to get a smaller size then what you wear and that seems to be the case with me because, like I said, I feel totally supported with mine.  And the thing I like best is that I feel they really minimize my size so I don't feel like I look so top heavy.  I don't have the money for a reduction or a lift so this is the next best thing.

I haven't ever heard of the Ahhh bra, but I see lots of posts about the Genie bra and it seems like every one of them is positive. I haven't used either one myself.

Please whatever you do....do NOT buy either of these bras.  Boobs are not ment to sit on your stomach.  That doesn't mean they have to be high enough to rest your chin on either, but the genie bra is a glorified round the house no support sports bra and should NEVER EVER EVER be worn in public.

Just buy real bras.  I'm still losing and I just buy two bras at a time in my new size and wear and wash em to death.  By the time they are falling apart, I'm ready to move down a size.  That way, the girls get the suppor they need, and you get a waist line that you can see actually shrinking because the girls are up and out of the way.

All I wear are Genie bras and I find the support okay.  One negative for me however, is that I sweat a lot and the Genie bra isn't absorbent at all.  Also, I recommend ordering one size larger. Otherwise you will have a battle getting it on even though they stretch.

I am a DD and I bought the Genie Bra. I was very disappointed in it. Walmart sells them. You should try it on before you buy it.
